Git was at one time a prominent rival
of Maj. Edwards, of Fargo, and it was
said that he won on more four flushes
than any other poker player i'll the
Northwest. He made so much money
that he retired from that vocation and
has not played since 'S5, but he still re-
mains authority on the technical
points OF the game. With smile
on his handsome countenance he
will always greet you pleasantly and
will give you joke that is no chestnut.
Lately he has been dOwn-hearted, and

Il Milwaukee man, he is heart and soul
with st. Paul, and probably there is no
greater admirer of the national game
than he. But lately he presented the
left fielder of the st. Paul club with q
diamond pin valued at 500. At present
he is flooding the Northwest with laces.

A GOOD JOKE.
Charley Whaley Gets the Worst
of a Clever Joke.

Charles Whaley, with Verplank Bros,
had one of the best jokes of the season
perpetrated on him one day last week
down at the club room. 1t happened in
this way. A good many of the boys had
assembled there to spend the day in a
nice sociaI way, cracking jokes, telling
stories and putting up jobs on each
other. Charley had s. bill partly eX-
posed in his vest pocket. which was
nipped by Harry Dorsey, of Power,
Durkee IL Co., without his knowledge.
Nearly all the other boys saw the theft
and waited for developments. Some
time after Charley secured one of
Harry'S shirt studs in his peculiar
slight-of-hand performance and slipped
it into Harry's coat pocket: he then i'll
formed the other bows of what he did,
and invited them all to see the fun.
He heard one of the boys tell Harry
that his pin was gone and that Whaley
had it. Harry came up and accused
him of taking it. He of course denied
it. Harry offered to wager So to 81 that
Charlie had it in his possession. He
was readily taken up, the money depos-
tied and the pin found in Harry's pos
session of course, and Charities own
money was turned over to him. He
was delirious with joy at having won
s. so easy. Some one proposed cham
paign. Charlie readily aSSented one
quart of Mumm's $3.50 and the balance
for cigars. All as he thought at Har-
rvs expense. When he was informed
where the money came from and he
missed his s., wasn't he hot? That is
putting it mild. He vowed vengence on
all concerned. MONOGRAM.

aimleSsly. with nothing more than an
occasional straw to snatch at, so he
set about learning trade, and
suiting his taste he learned the business
of harness making of E. S. Norton, with
whom he remained eight years, after
wards going on the road for p. r. l..
Hardenburg and he has travelled seven
years for that firm, his territory lying in
the Red River valley and Northwest.
Fargo was formerly Billy's parade
ground and here he was wont in days
gone by to drop into his best bib and
tucker and parade through the principal
thoroughfareS with high and mighty
step. You can see from the roughly
sketched features of Billy that he is an
unusually handsome man. The grert
weight of his beauty lies in his heavy
black mOuStache SO gracefully curled at
either end and in the liquid
depths of his brown eyes. He has
figure that compares we'll with these
features. and a smile that don't let any
thing that's female get away from it
without an enviOuS twinge. All these
years Billy has been running in single
harness. He has had repeated Oppor-
tunltieS for securing a running mate,
but he has never found one who suited
him. 1t is rumored, however, that there
IS young lady of charming qualities in
the vicinity Of DEVILS Lake who has
succeeded in captivating Billy's heart.

they will be wed early in the coming

TAHLEQUAH, idaho. Oct. 14.-There
is serious trouble anticipated here when
the Cherokee council meets here next
Monday. 1t is hard to see how blood
shed can be averted. When the late
election was over, on the face of the
returns, as certified to by the nine ma
tional clerks, Joel Mayors was declared
elected as chief by 1S3 majority. Since
then the returns have been so changed
as to count in Robert Bunch, the oppO-
sition candidate. Both parties are gath
ering in force and declare the respect

only way to settle this question is by
force, there being no count to appeal to.

ROCKSY, OLD BOY.
He Sends in a Pleasing Batch of
Personals,

While at Fargo last Sunday noticed
as guests of the Headquarters two of
the boys in the full sense of the word,
Ike Lederer and A. J. Guiterman. both
representing leading houses of Milwau-
kee. Ike Lederer has been travelling
in this section since '76, and is a cen
tennial boy, born in Philadelphia thirty
-FOUR summers ago, but the Lord only
knows how many winters, and has
since that time very ably represented
the firm of ID. Adler IL Sons. There is
no room for doubt that this house is
popular in this section through him
alone. A whole-S0uled man, well met.
beloved by even women and children,
he goes on day by day growing more
and more popular. He was the first
president of the Minnesota Travelling
Mems club and prime organizer,
spending time and money in so doing.
A. S. Guiterman, better known as
"Gitt," is probably the youngest man in
this section for the number of years he
has travelled, being first made prOmi-
nent twenty-four years ago this spring
at Cincinnati, o. He moved to this
country in '76. since that time having

He Tells About Corn and Corn
Juice at Sioux City.

Since writing you last, another season
has fled past recall and autumn is here,
showing up the foliage in its variegated
cOlOrs of gold and crimson and russell
brown. The waving fields of golden
grain are no more, and the vast eXpanse
of corn fields look bare and solitary i'm
their ShOrn nakedneSs. The festive
knights of the grip have donned the
overcoat, and instead of lolling on the
verandas of the hotels they are to be
found congregated in groups in the ro-
tunda. An impromptu verse has arisen
in my train of thought tonight which
can be SING to the old Jacobite tune of

In Sioux City corn is king, and every
thing looks gay.
In the GarretsOn house on Wednes-
day 362 guests sat down to dinner, and
during the day over 900 people partook
of meat and drink to gladden. the heart

host showed his ability as landlord
under the great strain and pressure, ,and
whilst his deputies napigated the great
sea of human life in the hotel, he per-
sOnally attended to the travelling men,
and supplied their numerous wants to
nicely. The boys first, he said. and
so say all of us. Verify, l almost be-
lieved that the American people were

the jolly grangers get half a bushel of
corn and seven inches of SOlld silver
knife down their capaciouS throatS was
truly appalling. And then the quantity
of liquid corn they got outside of in the
evening. This is a prohibition town.
There are Bibles in the railroad cars

This fact is not mentioned because there
is anything startling about it, but to
show that Billy did not creep under the
canvas of this great show when the po-
lice weren't looking. His birth took
place in st. Paul, and here he was
reared. gaining liberal education in
